Hygenie is now a Period Positive Workplace

At Hygenie, we’ve always believed that washrooms should support dignity, comfort, and equality for everyone and that’s why we’re proud to announce that Hygenie is now officially a Period Positive Workplace and you can be too!

Being a Period Positive Workplace means we’re committed to creating a culture where menstrual health is normalised, supported, and respected. It’s about providing the right facilities, yes – but also educating, engaging, and breaking stigma around periods in the workplace and beyond.

 

🚺 Why this matters

Too often, periods are still treated as a taboo topic especially in work environments. But the reality is that half the population will experience menstruation for a significant part of their lives. The discomfort, lack of access to products, and absence of proper hygiene provision can make a real impact on confidence, wellbeing, and participation, particularly in education and the workplace.

By becoming a Period Positive Workplace, we’re actively saying:

✅ Period products are a basic need — not a luxury
✅ Talking about periods shouldn’t be uncomfortable
✅ Washroom dignity matters — in schools, workplaces, public spaces, and everywhere in between

 

🧼 How Hygenie supports Period Positivity

As a national washroom service provider, we’re already helping schools, universities, offices and public venues make real change, including:

  • Discreet sanitary waste disposal that is hygienic, compliant, and serviced regularly
  • Support for period dignity initiatives in education, public sector, and workplace settings
  • Trusted advice for facilities managers on how to improve inclusivity in washrooms
  • Non-landfill sanitary waste disposal, with waste diverted responsibly to energy recovery

We’re also a proud member of the British Toilet Association, working alongside other organisations committed to better, more inclusive ‘away from home’ washrooms.

 

🌍 What’s next?

We’ll continue working with partners and clients to promote period dignity and hygiene inclusion, providing sustainable and sensitive solutions across the UK.

Whether it’s a nursery, university, office block, stadium or museum every washroom should be period positive.
